章 44: No more games (2)

"The dress was given to you. There is no reason why Delilah should have it when she is capable of buying her own. I knew her well, so I know how she can be when it comes to me, unfortunately. It doesn't mean that I agree with you scaring my guests, but she will learn not to desire something that does not belong to her. No more insects or snakes must be picked up to scare my servants or guests," said Rafael.

It was not the way to retaliate when someone troubled you. He had let go of the issue of the snake in the room when he believed it was here, but now that it happened again with beetles, he could not ignore it. There was no telling what she would pick next to scare someone with. 

Rafael said that, but Annalise wondered why he was smiling at the dress. He seemed entertained by what had happened to Delilah, but he was trying to seem like he was not. 

"Can I speak freely?" Analise requested since she wanted to know the reason for his smile.
